Migratory Movements of Caribou in Northern Quebec and Labrador
Project
Project Description:This project aims at identifying the determinants of migratory routes and staging areas used by eastern migratory caribou. It will use GPS location data collected on >100 females...
Migratory Tundra Caribou Seasonal and Annual Distribution Relative to Thaidene Nene, a National Park Reserve Proposal in the East Arm of Great Slave Lake and Artillery Lake Area, Northwest Territories
Resource
Brief 2011 report on the use of Thaidene Nene National Park (NWT) by the Ahiak and Bathurst herds. This resource and others can be found on the Northern Caribou Canada website. To find more related...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Movement Ecology of Endangered Caribou During a COVID-19 Mediated Pause in Winter Recreation
Resource
Abstract The long-term conservation of species at risk relies on numerous, and often concurrent, management actions to support their recovery. Generally, these actions are habitat-based while others...
Multi-objective Optimization can Balance Trade-offs Among Boreal Caribou, Biodiversity, and Climate Change Objectives when Conservation Hotspots do not Overlap
Resource
The biodiversity and climate change crises have led countries—including Canada—to commit to protect more land and inland waters and to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations. Canada is also obligated...
Natal Habitat Preference Induction in Large Mammals—Like Mother, Like Child?
Project
Organization:
Project Description:We used complementary approaches to assess natal habitat preference induction in a marked population of woodland caribou. All approaches compared the behavior of calves in their...
Natural Regeneration on Seismic Lines Influences Movement Behaviour of Wolves and Grizzly Bears
Resource
Across the boreal forest of Canada, habitat disturbance is the ultimate cause of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) declines. Habitat restoration is a focus of caribou recovery efforts, with a goal...
New Operational Forest Harvesting Approach and Road Network Deployment in Caribou Habitat
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project Description: This trial test a new operational forest harvesting approach in two cutting agglomerations to facilitated road dismantling (integrated approach). We test different changes and...
Novel Multilayer Network Analysis to Assess Variation in the Spatial Co-occurrences of Close Kin in Wild Caribou Populations
Resource
Abstract Understanding how individuals within populations are connected genetically and through shared space-use is critical to understanding the demographic patterns of at-risk populations. In recent...
Ontario Not Effectively Protecting Boreal Caribou Habitat: Federal Minister
News
Organization
Global News article by Allison Jones and Liam Casey The Canadian Press. Ontario is failing to effectively protect some of the critical habitat for boreal caribou, Environment Minister Steven...
Ottawa demands caribou protection strategy by May 1
News
Organization
Ottawa will not resume negotiations with Quebec on species at risk until the strategy for protecting the habitat of woodland and mountain caribou is tabled. Federal Minister Steven Guilbeault...
Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) Territory Placement Near Seismic Lines is Influenced by Forest Regeneration and Conspecific Density
Resource
The boreal forest of western Canada is being dissected by seismic lines used for oil and gas exploration. The vast amount of edge being created is leading to concerns that core habitat will be reduced...
Parks Canada Extends Seasonal Backcountry Closures in Jasper National Park
News
Organization
In Jasper National Park, caribou and their habitat are protected under Canada’s National Parks Act and Species at Risk Act. Seasonal closures and access restrictions are just one way that Parks Canada...
Parks Canada’s captive caribou breeding program receives approval from review panel
News
Organization
A proposal for a captive breeding program designed to support woodland caribou recovery efforts in Jasper National Park has received approval from a scientific review panel. The program, which will...
Partitioning Drivers of Spatial Genetic Variation for a Continuously Distributed Population of Boreal Caribou: Implications for Management Unit Delineation
Resource
Isolation by distance (IBD) is a natural pattern not readily incorporated into theoretical models nor traditional metrics for differentiating populations, although clinal genetic differentiation can...
Perfluoroalkyl Substances in Circum-Arctic Rangifer: Caribou and Reindeer
Resource
Livers of caribou and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) from Canada (n = 146), Greenland (n = 30), Svalbard (n = 7), and Sweden (n = 60) were analyzed for concentrations of eight perfluoroalkyl carboxylic...
Petroleum Exploration Increases Methane Emissions from Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant sources of atmospheric methane (CH4). In the northern hemisphere, extensive geologic exploration activities have occurred to map petroleum deposits. In peatlands...
Plant Functional Traits as Indicator of the Ecological Condition of Wetlands in the Grassland and Parkland of Alberta, Canada
Resource
The analysis of functional trait-habitat relationships has been used to measure the degree to which environmental factors influence the assembly of ecological communities. In the Parkland and...
